Crowdin vs MultiLipi Comparison

Crowdin is an excellent "Translation Management System" (TMS). It excels at managing files and workflows for software projects. But websites aren't files; they are living, breathing entities.

Crowdin charges based on "Hosted Words" (every version of every string), which creates a complex pricing web that grows exponentially as you iterate.

Every time you update a headline or tweak product copy, Crowdin counts that as "new words"—even if you already translated similar text before.

MultiLipi moves beyond file management. We provide a Live Layer that sits on top of your website, handling translation, SEO injection, and AI structuring in real-time.

Kemudahan Penggunaan & Kualitas Terjemahan

The "Connector" Complexity

To use Crowdin on a website, you often need to install "connectors" or manually upload/download CSV/XML files every time you update a blog post.

The File Burden:

Imagine you publish 3 blog posts per week. With Crowdin:

  • Export each blog post as CSV/XML
  • Upload to Crowdin project
  • Wait for translators to complete
  • Download translated files
  • Import back into your CMS manually
  • Repeat weekly = 156+ file uploads/downloads per year
Perbaikan MultiLipi:

We eliminate files entirely. Our system scrapes your content automatically. Changes on your English site are instantly detected, translated by AI, and published. No CSVs, no XMLs, no manual workflows.

⚡ Real Result: Clients save 15-20 hours per month by eliminating file management overhead.

Akurasi Kontekstual

In Crowdin, translators often work in a grid view (spreadsheet style), disconnected from the visual layout. They see "Submit" but don't know if it's a form button or navigation link.

Perbaikan MultiLipi:

We provide a Live Visual Editor. Translators see exactly where the text appears on the page. This ensures that a button label like "Book" isn't mistranslated as "Book (a novel)" instead of "Book (a reservation)."

Context = Accuracy: Our clients report 40% fewer translation errors compared to file-based systems.

Melampaui Terjemahan: Keuntungan SEO & GEO

1. The SEO Gap

Crowdin creates the terjemahan of your SEO tags, but it doesn't inject them. You still need a developer to code the Hreflang logic into your site header.

Perbaikan MultiLipi:

We handle the technical injection automatically. We generate the XML sitemaps, the canonical tags, and the Hreflang attributes so you don't have to code anything.

  • Automatic XML sitemap generation for all languages
  • Dynamic Hreflang tag injection in <head>
  • Proper canonical URL management
  • Real-time SEO health monitoring

2. Revolusi GEO

Crowdin creates text. MultiLipi creates authority.

Perbaikan MultiLipi:

We generate specialized Schema Markup (JSON-LD) that helps AI agents understand your content structure. Crowdin outputs raw text; MultiLipi outputs "Semantic Data" that ranks in AI snapshots.

Proven Impact:

E-commerce brands using MultiLipi see 2.8x more product recommendations in AI search results compared to file-based translation tools.

Kontrol Pertumbuhan Anda: Analitik & Nada

Crowdin tells you how much work you've done. MultiLipi tells you how much value you've created.

Business Analytics

Crowdin: Zero traffic data. Only shows "85% translated."
MultiLipi: Track page views per language. Identify high-performing markets and double down on them.

ROI Tracking

See which language versions generate the most conversions. Allocate your budget to the translations that drive revenue, not just word counts.

Example: If German generates 40% of revenue but only 15% of traffic, you know where to invest.

Transparent Pricing: Simple vs. Complex

Crowdin's "Hosted Words" model means you pay for every stored string, even if it's not visible. MultiLipi charges for what you actually use.
